Story Behind The Song

Composed in 1990 but never pitched. The market was kind only to songwriters who also sang their own material.

Song Description

Slow soulful sound but not melancholy.

Lyrics

I thought it was good with the two of us
And I saw through love coloured eyes
My whole world was alive and inviting
There was little that I could despise
Every part of the day without you girl
Every hour every minute apart
I just knew that I had to return to you
Cos you babe had captured my heart

When we first kissed it felt good to me
We didn't have to make love; you still excited me.
Time is a healer. I know that you're gone forever.
But I still feel the pain when I see you again
I still can't believe that it was

Not to be sweet lover
Sometimes there's
Got to be another
Other than memory, it's all over
You and me girl made great history for love

I think of the time in the future
Looking forward to things that are knew.
But I still cannot get you babe out of my head
And there's no place in my life with you.
I can't change what has happened between us
There's no point in us looking behind.
We both made the mistake. It's the time for the break
And my heart will break with it you'll find.
Don't say goodbye, just remember.
We had our June and July and now it's September.
Don't try and analyse or reason with emotion.
Let's just call it the end and we'll still be as friends.
But our love oh darlin' it was

Not to be sweet lover
Sometimes there's
Got to be another
Other than memoryit's all over
You and me girl made great history for love.

Every night I still dream of you
And I hold you close to me
Making love so tenderly
Then I wake up in the morning
And sweet lover, you're not there.

Don't you know that it was
Not to be sweet lover
Sometimes there's
(Got to be) another
Other than memoryit's all over
You and me girl made great history for love.

Not to be
Got to be
Memory it's all over
You and me girl.
